It is understood that Peterborough have paid a six-figure sum for the Warrington-based left-footer, and agreed a range of potential add-ons.

Cooper made 142 appearances for Crewe after making his professional debut in September 2014 as a 17-year-old. He scored 15 times for the club, and is also the leading assist-maker in the fourth tier so far this term after having a hand in nine Crewe goals.

“He has set a lot of goals up for team-mates at Crewe over the last few years and gives us more competition for places in that area of the pitch. He has had a good grounding at Crewe, can play with both feet, can score goals and is a really good addition for us.”

Cooper goes straight into the squad for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One fixture with Oldham Athletic at London Road.
